The city of Somerville Massachusetts has submitted their proposed zoning and it will no longer allow you to add a third unit as a right in the RB district despite overwhelming community support. If you live or invest in Somerville please do the following:

1.Sign the petition below.
2. Write the city council (message me and I can give you their email address) BP wont let me post it here.
3. Go to the meeting and voice your opinion

@Justin Rank @Adam Sankowski  Thank indeed Justin.  This hurts in so many levels and happy to sign. More units = more affordable housing + more density = less sprawl + less auto transit = less pollution.

I'm in East Camb.  We should set up a time to get a coffee or a beer and talk shop.
